Reviews
I purchased the Eco ProFessional 2 for my Nikon D500. I use GPS coordinates for my nature photography to report sightings to iNaturalist. I used to use Nikon's SnapBridge through Bluetooth, but got tired of the challenges I faced with it. After the initial acquisition of 30-40 seconds, this just works. I find the location accuracy has been quite good in the few hundred pictures I have taken since I got it. It was a bit pricey at around $200 US, but I am happy with my purchase.
GPS works perfectly with my new Z8. I've used di-GPS products on previous Nikon cameras for over a decade and find them accurate and reliable.
Unfortunately, the Z8 uses the D800 type 10 pin connector which makes the GPS stick out a bit. Nikons problem.
Would recommend without reservation.
Excellent product. Works perfect. Picks up satellites quickly. Very happy with this product.
This unit usually produces valid fixes quite quickly, using the saved last position as a hint when first powered on. Much lower camera power consumption than SnapBridge on a phone. I would love to see a smaller version of this that omits the 10-pin socket, since it could be less vulnerable to damage. But this is great for geotagging my wild plant photos.
I don’t write down my location when shooting so having geolocation in the data is what I wanted and this little device gets the job done.
